Mental health difficulties can affect any child or young person, across all spectrums of society. Currently, nearly one million children and young people in the UK & Ireland have a diagnosed mental health difficulty –equivalent to three in every school or college classroom.

Despite increased public awareness of mental health difficulties among young people, three quarters of those experiencing such difficulties still report the negative impact of stigma – and how it can prevent them from speaking out and seeking help.

As well as fundraising for direct support, #IAMWHOLE seeks to challenge this stigma by giving a voice to the thousands of young people who have suffered in silence and a way for all of us to declare our support.
